One Major Selection Doubt For Inter Milan Coach In Serie A Derby Vs AC Milan | OneFootball

There is one major selection doubt for Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi for Monday’s Serie A derby against AC Milan.

Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, report that Matteo Darmian is the slight favourite to start at right-wingback ahead of Denzel Dumfries.

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi is naturally ready to play his strongest possible lineup on Monday.

The derby is, for all intents and purposes, Inter’s biggest match remaining this season.

The Nerazzurri have the chance to clinch the Serie A with five matches to go. That would be the first time either they or Milan have done so in a derby match.

Then there is the fact that the derby is always a hugely significant fixture for Inter and the Rossoneri.

As such, it is not as though Inzaghi will be giving any thought to squad rotation, or to bedding in any players for next season like Tajon Buchanan.

Inzaghi Leaning Towards Darmian Vs AC Milan

In almost every position on the pitch, there is a clear favourite to start.

Inter’s starting eleven has looked relatively settled throughout the season so far.

Both captain Lautaro Martinez and defender Benjamin Pavard are back available.

That duo had missed out on Inter’s Serie A match against Cagliari last Sunday due to suspension. However, they are back, and will certainly take the places of Alexis Sanchez and Yann Bisseck respectively.

There is one area that could be a bit of a doubt, however.

On the right flank, both Darmian and Dumfries have started quite a few matches this season.

And according to Sky, both of the duo would have a real chance of starting Monday’s match.

However, there is a likelier candidate. And it is 34-year-old former Manchester United and Torino defender Darmian.

Sky characterize the Italian international as having a 51% chance of starting Monday’s derby showdown.
